The expression is said to have a “sweet, slightly spicy aroma with overtones of vanilla, honey and perfume”, and on the palate a “rich, malty flavour with a smoothness and warmth at the end and a hint of chocolate and vanilla”.

Sinead O’ Frighil, Irish whiskies marketing manager at Quintessential Brands, said: “The Dubliner Irish Whiskey has had an incredible start launching at Dublin Airport last year and sales to date in Ireland, Australia and the USA have been really encouraging. We are delighted to be introducing this limited edition expression to The Dubliner range.

“It is well known that the growth of Irish whiskies is at an exciting stage and we have high hopes for our approachable and smooth 10 Year Old Single Malt in domestic and travel retail markets internationally – it’s a beautiful whiskey!”

The Dubliner 10 Year Old is bottled at 42% abv and will be available at an RRP of £50 from Dublin Airport and specialist whisky retailers.
